{"product_id":"aquasstar-pipeline-filter-lid-assembly-pf2001","title":"AquaStar Pipeline Filter Lid Assembly | PF2001","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe AquaStar PF2001 is an OEM lid assembly replacement for AquaStar's PLF27000 and PLF35000 Pipeline cartridge filter series. As the primary access point for cartridge maintenance, the lid assembly must seal properly under operating pressure to prevent air infiltration and water bypass, and a cracked, warped, or damaged lid is one of the most common causes of filter pressure loss and reduced filtration performance. The PF2001 features AquaStar's patented safe-release collar design that allows the lid to be removed and reinstalled quickly and safely without specialized tools, keeping routine cartridge cleaning fast and straightforward. The PF2001 is manufactured in the USA by AquaStar Pool Products and engineered to match OEM specifications exactly. Note that the lid O-ring (O-RING453) is sold separately and should be replaced simultaneously for a complete, leak-free seal restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits PLF27000 and PLF35000 Pipeline Filters:\u003c\/strong\u003e A direct OEM lid replacement that fits both AquaStar Pipeline cartridge filter models, the PLF27000 (200 sq ft, 27,000 gallon) and the PLF35000 (250 sq ft, 35,000 gallon), covering the full range of AquaStar's Pipeline series installations across residential and light commercial pools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePatented Safe-Release Collar:\u003c\/strong\u003e AquaStar's proprietary safe-release collar mechanism allows the lid to be removed and reinstalled quickly and safely without any specialty tools, simplifying routine cartridge access during cleaning cycles and reducing the time and effort required for scheduled filter maintenance work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRestores Pressure and Seal Integrity:\u003c\/strong\u003e A damaged or warped filter lid is one of the most frequent contributors to pressure loss, air leaks, and reduced filtration efficiency in the Pipeline series, and replacing the assembly with the correct PF2001 OEM lid brings the system back to its full operating performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the USA by AquaStar:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manufactured in the United States by AquaStar Pool Products to exact factory specifications, the PF2001 delivers the same fit, durability, and pressure performance as the original lid assembly installed on the Pipeline filter at the time of original manufacture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePair with O-RING453 for a Complete Seal:\u003c\/strong\u003e For a fully restored seal, AquaStar recommends replacing the lid O-ring (O-RING453) at the same time as the lid assembly, ensuring a watertight, pressure-resistant fit and eliminating two of the most common contributors to lid-related leaks and pressure drift.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAquaStar Pipeline Filter Model PLF270000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAquaStar Pipeline Filter Model PLF350000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AquaStar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55131112145187,"sku":"PF2001","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/0987\/5235\/files\/wpmAquaStarPipelineFilterLidAssemblyPF2001_2.jpg?v=1779907759","url":"https:\/\/wholesalepoolmart.com\/products\/aquasstar-pipeline-filter-lid-assembly-pf2001","provider":"Wholesale Pool Mart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
